True. I go through phases like this. For two whole weeks I will write (creatively) and draw, and then I usually find there is a day or two when I can't seem to do much of anything useful besides menial tasks and watching stupid videos. Then I go through another two weeks of analytical stuff-- reading, catching up on work (programming and mathy stuff), and doing planning for my writing. I can control it, if necessary in a day. The urge to do one thing or another is an intense "mood" for me (which, like I said, normally has a two-week period). This indicates some kind of synchronization, so if I want to switch I use musical triggers: airy, melodic music for creativity, and beat-heavy, algorithmic music for analytical activity. I only need to listen to the music for a few minutes to switch, and of course it sometimes doesn't work but I don't know of any other triggers. Possibly going out for a short walk could do it too? Meditation?
